Erik was a beloved grandson, son, brother, uncle, nephew, cousin, and friend. He spent most of his days making the most out of playtime with his 4 year old niece Vera who knew him as "Bald Uncle". They would paint, swim, play pretend, and Vera's favorite, throwing the ball as high as he could! The sky was the limit when "Bald Uncle" was running playtime.
